You’re definitively forgetting about other important insects for agriculture such as worms

That’s the thing, it’s not an established console line

And also, half of Wii U sales is fucking massive. Yes the Wii U was considered a failure, but it was still well known

That’s a big assumption about who I am, what I do, and my abilities, isn’t it?

You don’t know everything, and your experiences aren’t universal, you know

There have definitively been multiple times windows systems bricked themselves on me without it being my fault

It’s not rarer than Linux systems bricking in my experience. In addition, Linux systems tend to be a lot more fixable, but with windows being just a black box sometimes you’re just shit out of luck and have to reinstall

Wayland is the new protocol and will be the one that everything uses in the long run

If Wayland works for you, then that’s great, don’t use X11

The main reason you’d want to use X11 these days is for compatibility. But that’s getting less and less of a concern as time goes on

I mean, no, the tester didn’t say anything wrong here, and all of those (and more) are conditions one must take into account if one were to write a piece of software without errors

It’s always funny to me when people call Linux complicated and in the next sentence say shit like that

As if doing registry edits and group policy stuff is acceptable for basic features and settings

Depending on the situation, repetitive shit might be unavoidable

Usually you can solve the issue by using regex, but regex can be difficult to work with as well

…now the question is do we want to implement a command for that

I have like the exact opposite issue. I’ve used windows for most of my life but it’s so so much harder to actually fix issues in windows compared to Linux

And for me, the big reason for this is because windows is a black box, Linux is not. You are always able to dig however deep you’d like in Linux compared to windows. Now, that might not be relevant for a layperson directly, but what it does mean is that someone else can understand the system component intimately and help you.

Meanwhile on windows the amount of “run this command that we auto-post to every issue report that doesn’t work” I’ve seen is ridiculous, and it never solved the problem. And then I try to dig into how to actually solve it, and really struggle so much more.

Also, Microsoft just sucks as a company. Recently I’ve wanted to clone a windows installation to an external drive. Should work fine, right? I could easily get that to work for Linux, and any issue that popped up I could fix. So, tried to use clonezilla, didn’t work. Ok fine, let me reinstall. Turns out Microsoft dropped support for windows on an external drive. Well that’s garbage and dumb, as I’ve used this to my benefit in the past. But turns out, people say it still actually works, you just need to use a third party tool. Which doesn’t inspire confidence, but whatever

And it did work in the end, but it took me many many hours of extra work of trying to figure out what the problem was, giving up, then looking for more information on alternate solutions, then finally finding something that worked, albeit with more work on my part

But if it was a Linux installation I’d have been finished in an hour probably, because I expect that cloning a drive would work without much issue there

I can’t even get them to use mastodon or Lemmy, they’re not gonna go to an alternative discord

Okay, great, now convince 30+ other people I chat with on the service

Yes I know it sucks and will just keep on enshittifying, but it’s not so much as it being a replaceable social media for me, as it is a primary way for me to keep in contact with partners, friends, finding out about and participating in arrangements, and meeting new people in my local area. Stopping using discord is effectively cutting myself off from the local communities

Everyone in my social circle uses it, and will keep on using it. Maybe once some breaking point is reached due to ever increasing enshittification people will start being interested in alternatives, but we’re far from that point still

I do

Some people just have unusual features

I mean, small things like that add up, you want your stack as optimized as possible

A quarter of a second here, another quarter there, and suddenly it might take 2 seconds longer for a connection to form, which matters a ton. A lot of work in the modern web is going into reducing latency

Honestly, if you read the manual you are very much not dumb

HDR is actually pretty cool, at least when you got a proper HDR display such as an OLED screen

You need to really specify what is meant by “AI” here. Chances are it’s probably some form of smart traffic lights to improve traffic flow. Which is not all that special. It has nothing to do with LLMs

Don’t want to be the cause of a CVE now, do we?

I’ve had more windows updates breaking stuff than I had arch updates breaking stuff, that’s for sure. I think it’s frankly laughable that a paid OS has problems such as that.
